About

Starting your own business and picking the

right niche in no time

Each and every year since Hurricane Katrina, we have marked the anniversary by organizing a community led commemoration. Annually on August 29th, we start the morning in the Lower 9th Ward, where the levees broke, with a healing ceremony and a reading of the names of those who died. We then march through the streets until a brass band joins us at our half-way point to lead us the rest of the way in the New Orleans' Secondline tradition. We end at Hunter's Field where we hold a rally with speakers and performers. Join us this year for the 10 year anniversary as we remember loved ones we lost, celebrate our resiliency, and advocate for our communities.

Program

10am

Healing Ceremony: Lower 9th Ward @ N Galvez St & Jourdan Ave

Right against the backdrop of where the levees broke in the lower 9th Ward, we hold a healing ceremony. Community members gather for a multi-faith prayer and a reading of the names of those who died during Hurricane Katrina.

10:30am

March & Secondline: We will post the route closer to the date

When the healing ceremony concludes we start the march in a solemn spirt. As the march grows in numbers, spirits are lifted. Half-way through the march a brass band joins and we transition from somber to celebratory remembrance and commemoration in true New Orleans fashion. We secondline the rest of the march to Hunter's Field.

12:30pm - 4pm

Rally: Hunter's Field @ N Claiborne Ave. & St Bernard Ave.

Even more people join at Hunters Field for an afternoon program with speakers and performers, vendors, and community organizations. For the 10 year anniversary we will have some very special guests, and we will be announcing a full line-up very soon.
